​‘Selfie Olympics’ parade takes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter by storm

With the Olympics in Sochi coming up fast and the spirit of competition in the air, the world’s been on the look out for an alternative type of sport – and to the surprise of many, some of the entries in the Selfie Olympics look pretty challenging.

The word ‘selfie’ gained such popularity and notoriety
in 2013 that the Oxford English Dictionary made it the word of
the year. And even though the competition has the word Olympics
in it, it is hard to imagine that the billions of people will
stop taking pictures of themselves anytime soon.

However, to make an ‘Olympics’ selfie, it’s not enough
to just look good, there must zeal and energy and everything
constituting the motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger,
Twitter.” Competitions are held in such fields as door
scaling, air hovering, basin fitting – whatever!
